A small town outside Philadelphia has an annual festival where clay birds made by local artists are fired in a pit beneath a wooden phoenix set on fire to warm up the frosty, full moon December night. Local crowds eagerly participate to light the bird and see the fireworks.

I drove by that site about 2 hours before the thing started thinking that we should have stuck around for the roast. Boy, has Phoenixville turned itself around! Now if they could only get that bridge finished...
